However the King dispatches four of the land's best assassins to hunt and kill her before she can find help. With a former solider by her side, Elspeth tries to evade death but runs straight into hell where she finds an army of soulless men and women trapped in cages in the earth, awaiting the call from their master to rise and siege the castle. Surrounded by evil, will Elspeth maintain her faith in all that is holy and good?

SPEAKER_14 0:03

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

unknown 0:06

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

SPEAKER_04 0:14

King Henry, your guests.

SPEAKER_06 0:17

Show them in.

SPEAKER_04 0:19

Yes, my lord. I present the kingdom's top, shall we say, problem solvers. First, the red horseman.

SPEAKER_11 0:34

My king.

SPEAKER_04 0:36

The Scotsman.

SPEAKER_02 0:38

You know as well as I do, they call me the ugly Scotsman. But thank you for respecting my feelings. By the way, you call it Dumper Castle. I seen pigs with bigger homes.

SPEAKER_04 0:52

A pleasure to see. And the silent killer.

SPEAKER_06 1:00

Your name does not lie. To it, I shall not lie to any of you. My daughter, Earl Speth, has betrayed me.

SPEAKER_14 1:09

The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. The Lord is my shepherd.

SPEAKER_06 1:15

Based on the company in this room, you have probably concluded that I desire her rendered under the grave.

SPEAKER_02 1:21

Your own daughter, my liege? Don't pretend you never killed a woman, Horseman. From what I've heard, you like to run them through a few times before finishing. King Henry. What the hell has she run? A man who's known as the biggest creep in the kingdom. I'm surprised you then know she's a bastard, and they say she's a cursor.

SPEAKER_06 1:44

I believe she plans to offer information and assistance to the Persian rebels along the coast. She must be caught and killed before she can act on her moralistic impulses. She has been a stain on my family since the day she was born. Imagine the king's daughter, a turncoat. She cares not of perception. She answers only to Christ. Her head will answer to the mighty hoof of my horse.

SPEAKER_02 2:16

Gives a drop of piss.

SPEAKER_06 2:18

What's the price? Twice as much as the Percy clan offered you bastards for my head. I did not accept that job. Only because the price was too low. But I require not only your talents but your discretion. No one can suspect my involvement. I will not give those rebels a story to sow further distant. Not when we are so close to ending this war. Understood, my liege.

SPEAKER_02 2:46

Not to be dead, Thomas, but what guarantee do we have your payment? Wars and rebellions are expensive, and we've all heard the stories of your pockets, we know we bet like perhaps this will avail.

SPEAKER_06 3:01

That'll do. Where was Elspeth last seen? Ersphag is a student of the ancients and their foot races. She moves fox, not fast enough to outrun Goliath.

SPEAKER_11 3:11

Two hundred stone legs as thick as logs, eyes that wither even the bravest of men. We'll catch her, my king.

SPEAKER_15 4:09

A trap. Who set it? This road is not safe. I must find another route. A cave slippery and dark, but perhaps there's a way through. Who's that? Another of the king's assassins come to slay me.

SPEAKER_18 5:04

If I wanted to do that, you'd be dead already.

SPEAKER_15 5:07

Show yourself.

SPEAKER_18 5:08

My name is Desmond. I mean you no harm.

SPEAKER_15 5:12

Nor are you. You you're missing a hand.

SPEAKER_18 5:16

I am a soldier. Or I was.

SPEAKER_15 5:20

Are you fleeing the front?

SPEAKER_18 5:22

No. After I lost my hand, crown being to me useless. Half a warrior. I was rounded up with the other cast offs to be sold into slavery by the king. I skipped the slave caravan a temporary, and I've been hiding out here for well. I suppose I've lost track of time.

SPEAKER_15 5:42

Yet you reveal yourself to a stranger.

SPEAKER_18 5:44

If you are fleeing the king, we are of one mind. I ask your name.

SPEAKER_15 5:49

Elspeth.

SPEAKER_18 5:50

You say you are haunted by royal assassins. It's your name whiffs of royalty.

SPEAKER_15 5:55

Let my name deceive you not. I seek to remove King Henry from the throne.

SPEAKER_18 6:00

For reasons selfish or righteous.

SPEAKER_15 6:03

He disgusts me. He is corrupt as both a man and a leader. And I discovered he has begun to jail anyone he suspects of holding sympathies against the crown. My friend Rose spoke her concerns aloud, and within days, she vanished into the dungeons.

SPEAKER_18 6:20

Was she executed?

SPEAKER_15 6:21

I cannot say. When I snuck below ground to find her, she was gone.

SPEAKER_18 6:27

Perhaps she was sold into slavery.

SPEAKER_15 6:29

Sold? By whom?

SPEAKER_18 6:31

By the king, of course. Many of the slaves in my caravan were rounded up from their homes for speaking ill of him.

SPEAKER_15 6:38

Jailing is one thing, but selling his own people. Are you sure?

SPEAKER_18 6:44

I don't speak until I am. Perhaps you haven't noticed living in your castle. The kingdom's cupboards are there. The king's coffins are empty. He was turned a slaving to refill his war chest.

SPEAKER_15 6:57

No. Even for my father, that's a step too far.

SPEAKER_18 7:00

Your father?

SPEAKER_15 7:02

Forgive me. I misspoke.

SPEAKER_18 7:04

Did you? I gave you three seconds to speak the truth. I three.

SPEAKER_15 7:09

I Two. Okay, okay! I am the King's daughter. But I swear to you, I only seek to stop him. I want to embed with the rebels and show them through the castle gates. My father deserves to be brought down and replaced by someone who can rule as a pious and righteous servant of the Lord.

SPEAKER_11 7:29

The Lord does them, King of Elspith, the king's business.

SPEAKER_14 7:34

Run!

SPEAKER_11 7:35

That's the man back me up.

SPEAKER_14 7:47

You know these caves well. How do we escape?

SPEAKER_18 7:49

Down this tunnel to the left. When I say duck, you duck. Trust me.

SPEAKER_15 7:57

Faster! He's right behind us!

SPEAKER_06 8:00

Turn left.

unknown 8:03

Duck.

SPEAKER_15 8:12

My god, Desmond! A trap! Did you set the one on the road too?

SPEAKER_18 8:16

Security is of the utmost importance to an escaped slave.

SPEAKER_15 8:20

That spear went straight through his lower jaw and into his mouth. I don't think he can talk. Or breathe.

SPEAKER_18 8:28

It was supposed to penetrate his brain. Ah well. Like I said, this is the man who ran me up. Come, let me show you the exit. Perhaps you can speak to their leader.

SPEAKER_15 9:15

You look like quite the athlete, Desmond. Perhaps a race is in order.

SPEAKER_18 9:19

If you are in the mood to lose.

SPEAKER_15 9:21

Never. I'll see you there. Desmond! You did not say go! Go! Get back here! I'll catch you!

SPEAKER_18 9:38

And then what will you do with me?

SPEAKER_15 9:40

Wouldn't you like to know?

SPEAKER_19 9:48

How are you so fast?

SPEAKER_15 9:54

Yes! We're here! I beat you!

SPEAKER_18 9:56

No, look! This is it. This is the camp.

SPEAKER_15 10:01

But where is everybody?

SPEAKER_18 10:05

Perhaps they are hiding from us.

SPEAKER_15 10:07

No, the gardens haven't been maintained. They're overrun with weeds.

SPEAKER_18 10:13

Abandoned then. Let's look around.

SPEAKER_13 10:19

Hold! Who goes? State your purpose now.

SPEAKER_15 10:23

We seek the rebel group that opposes the king, that fights for the weak.

SPEAKER_13 10:28

And you?

SPEAKER_18 10:29

I seek no confrontation, sir. I accompany Elspeth as her friend and protector.

SPEAKER_08 10:35

You and you only girl. Follow me.

SPEAKER_18 10:39

No, she will not.

SPEAKER_15 10:41

It's fine, Desmond.

SPEAKER_18 10:43

Elspeth, there's something amiss here. Do not blindly put your faith in these rebels. You are as much a prize to them as a hostage as your head was to that assassin.

SPEAKER_15 10:53

If I do not show good faith, why would they listen to me?

SPEAKER_18 10:57

Fine, but I will be here when you arrive back. I will seek answers while you parlay.

SPEAKER_13 11:02

This way, girl. No. I'll be back.

SPEAKER_18 11:24

This camp is filthy. But if there are rebels here, they must be nearby. Hello? Anyone here?

SPEAKER_06 11:45

What a smell.

SPEAKER_18 11:47

There's food left on the tables. Drinks. As if they left in a hurry. Must be days old. What happened here? What's that outside? Hmm. A caravan.

SPEAKER_13 12:09

Oh! Oh, is it all? A new lord of rebels had called to join the course.

SPEAKER_16 12:17

Where is the red horseman?

SPEAKER_13 12:19

The red horseman was cold to the castle.

SPEAKER_16 12:22

You're two days late. Did you have trouble on the way?

SPEAKER_13 12:25

Uh we had a slight rockus, but uh we quelled that little uprising. Any losses? Uh, just one, me lady. Uh he was a cripple. A quibble? Yeah. He still had his feet and uh he ran at them caves up near Moonshire. He evaded us for days, and uh we decided it's probably best just to bring the rest to you.

SPEAKER_18 12:49

That's right, you buggers.

SPEAKER_16 12:51

Don't let it happen again.

SPEAKER_13 12:52

Yes, my lady.

SPEAKER_16 12:54

Take our fellow citizens to rest.

SPEAKER_13 12:56

Yes, yes, all right. Come on out here. You're here to join the rebellion.

SPEAKER_18 13:04

We were being sold to the rebellion.

SPEAKER_07 13:15

Hello.

unknown 13:31

Nothing.

SPEAKER_09 14:20

She doesn't see many people right now, but she says a visitor coming.

SPEAKER_15 14:26

She? Are you feeling quite well, good sir? The war has ravaged your body.

SPEAKER_09 14:32

Quite well. This way. Through the clearing and down the stone stairs. She'll be in the stables.

SPEAKER_15 14:46

How quaint. And well hidden.

SPEAKER_09 14:49

Usually I throw a bag over your head.

SPEAKER_15 14:56

What will happen to me?

SPEAKER_09 14:59

I wish I could tell you, dear.

SPEAKER_07 15:01

We all make a choice in Duno. Nothing changes. You're here to trade your crime, you say. Now see.

SPEAKER_08 15:11

I lost my children in this war. Gave up my wife to those woes that gave you sick doors. I gave all I had left for a chance to fight. And now here we are.

SPEAKER_15 15:37

Hello. Anyone here? Hello, you seem much nicer than the other one I met today. Have you seen anyone around? That's okay. It is an order to be here. I discovered his operation and intended, but it ended up. It is a human.

SPEAKER_16 17:02

There can be no forgiveness for the sentence of the king. We welcome your resistance.

SPEAKER_15 17:15

I serve the Lord. He is my only king. Besides, I am a princess in title only. A bastard born out of wedlock. An embarrassment to my late stepmother. And a scandal to my father. I was told my whole life that my existence was a source of shame. And yet it was my father's last act of compassion to let me be raised in the castle. A decision I imagine he has regretted as a sinner.

SPEAKER_16 17:46

He has manifested all his guilt and regret. Not only does he wish you God, but all those needing souls. He must be brought down. He must answer the God. You are doing a good thing.

SPEAKER_15 18:05

Yes. Beyond redemption. You will make a good thing.

SPEAKER_16 18:15

The kingdom requires a familiar name and a young face to take the throne and clean them out of these dark times. You have to meet you have shown incredible bravery and the idea. You may not feel ready, but you will be. You must confront that with wishes to enter. That will be sacrificed. There is a water fight. You must be eager to return and destroy with full force. I am not delay a minute longer. The time has come. Is it all quiet? Another assassin has followed you. Run. I will face this coward. What say you, assassin? Do you wish to trade barbs with me?

SPEAKER_15 19:49

Desmond, Desmond.

SPEAKER_14 19:53

What is that? Desmond.

SPEAKER_15 20:02

Am I going mad? Where are these voices coming from? I can't find you. Keep talking. I'm nearly there. Oh yeah! There you are. Oh, Desmond! Thank God!

SPEAKER_18 21:08

I never thought I'd see you again.

SPEAKER_15 21:10

What is this? Who would lock men into the ground? It's like a living graveyard. All these holes. There are men and women inside, barely alive.

SPEAKER_18 21:20

They're called oblets. Because whoever is locked in one is left and forgotten.

SPEAKER_15 21:26

The smell is unbearable.

SPEAKER_18 21:29

Men have rotted away in these cages. You must hurry. Get me out, please. The rats have already taken a bite of me.

SPEAKER_15 21:36

How do I get you out?

SPEAKER_18 21:38

There is a lever that opens the row of cages. You must be close by. Pull it.

SPEAKER_15 21:43

I shall. I just need to find Expert.

SPEAKER_18 21:49

What's wrong? Who is that?

SPEAKER_14 21:55

Then you were no friend of mine.

SPEAKER_10 22:01

You have got me.

SPEAKER_15 22:05

I've outrun death before.

SPEAKER_10 22:10

Death.

SPEAKER_15 22:15

Hell for my father, perhaps. I've come to rally the rebels against him.

SPEAKER_10 22:23

I'm rebels.

SPEAKER_15 22:25

I know not what is happening here, but my father will not continue to enslave his own people.

SPEAKER_10 22:33

You are poison.

SPEAKER_15 22:41

You are more effective when you attack like a coward from afar. Up close, you are slow. Help us! I will! Stop! Don't grab me!

SPEAKER_10 22:54

Nothing will save you now!

SPEAKER_15 22:56

Oh god! Jesus! If this be the end, may it be swift! It will not!

SPEAKER_10 23:03

My poison! No, no, no! Slowly!

SPEAKER_14 23:10

No, no, no! There! A lever! Kick him in the grass!

SPEAKER_18 23:23

Out of the way! Three me, El Smith! I can fight him!

unknown 23:28

You both where you stand.

SPEAKER_10 23:31

Another El Smith, I'm still trapped!

unknown 23:42

You will remain.

SPEAKER_15 23:44

Release my leg four. No, they won't. They need sustenance. Eat him. Send his soul to hell. In pieces. We are leaving now.

SPEAKER_18 25:39

We must have your father. But we cannot do it alone.

SPEAKER_15 25:46

I have a friend who can perhaps help. Alistair Percy.

SPEAKER_18 25:51

You return to your father's enemy.

SPEAKER_15 25:53

Alistair and I have been friends since childhood. Though there is war between our kingdoms, we maintain our relationship. When I explain to him what we have witnessed, I'm sure he'll rally his troops against Isidore.

SPEAKER_18 26:06

Even so.

unknown 27:14

Memory fades.

SPEAKER_16 27:16

Obey my command. You are remained. The devil's breath now fills your veins. The body ascends, the soul remains. Imprisoned in shadow, you are now but a shell.

SPEAKER_18 28:44

Keep your eyes low. Don't know who may be friend or foe.

SPEAKER_15 28:49

Did you see that strange man?

SPEAKER_18 28:52

No. Where?

SPEAKER_15 28:56

To the left. In the mosque.

SPEAKER_18 29:02

Just stay calm. Ramos to the train station. I'll find my friend.

SPEAKER_16 29:17

What now?

SPEAKER_02 29:18

You quivering mongrel. I knew you were a smart lass and you'd make for the closest port. But there'll be no ferry rides for you today, princess. I'm gonna run through you and turn your guts into haggis.

SPEAKER_15 29:30

Run desmond.

SPEAKER_18 29:34

Put as much in his way as you can.

SPEAKER_15 29:48

We think we need something larger to put in his way.

SPEAKER_18 29:51

Up in livestock pins. Open the ones on the right. I'll take the left.

SPEAKER_02 30:00

I'm usually paid to slaughter men, but we lands are just as easy. I will make a stand.

SPEAKER_15 30:12

No!

SPEAKER_02 30:14

I'm being paid to kill her. But you can you? I'll kill for free.

SPEAKER_18 30:19

You will come no further.

SPEAKER_15 30:20

Desmond, the man in the mask, he's headed right towards us.

SPEAKER_02 30:25

Run now, Smith. I'll hold them both. She's mine. Get out of the way. Who are you? Silent. Killer.

SPEAKER_18 30:44

He's turning! He's coming straight for us!

SPEAKER_15 30:48

Sir, no, please don't. Alistair?

SPEAKER_17 30:54

In the flesh, my dear Elspeth.

SPEAKER_15 30:56

Did my father hire you to kill me?

SPEAKER_17 30:59

No. He hired an assassin known as the Silent Killer. An assassin I captured months ago, and who is currently rotting in my dungeon. Luckily, he always wears a mask, and when my men intercepted a messenger seeking his services, I spotted an opportunity.

SPEAKER_15 31:16

You devil!

SPEAKER_17 31:17

Who's your friend here?

SPEAKER_18 31:20

Mine's Desmond. Pleasure.

SPEAKER_04 31:24

Taking my boat.

SPEAKER_03 31:25

I'm getting out of here.

SPEAKER_19 31:27

I just heard there's an army marching on the king's castle.

SPEAKER_15 31:30

Excuse me, what did you just say?

SPEAKER_04 31:32

There's an army, a few hundred strong, marching on the king's castle as we speak. They'll be there by nightfall.

SPEAKER_15 31:43

Alistair, we were going to board a ship to find you. But now that you're here, I have a better idea. Follow me. But all hope is not lost.

SPEAKER_17 32:12

Don't be daft, Elspeth. He sent assassins to end your life.

SPEAKER_15 32:16

That was not his doing.

SPEAKER_17 32:18

I was there. He gave the order himself.

SPEAKER_15 32:21

His soul has been corrupted by a witch named Isidor. She wants his downfall. For what reason, I do not know.

SPEAKER_17 32:28

I've heard no reports of this, Isidor. How could she raise an army without our knowledge?

SPEAKER_18 32:34

She is posing as the head of the rebels, but they aren't rebels at all. They are slaves, sold by the king, and now possessed by Isidor. They have no control over themselves. Their souls stripped from them, only their falling bodies remain. She needs to control them like a swarm of locusts.

SPEAKER_17 32:51

How do you know this, Desmond?

SPEAKER_18 32:53

I escaped a slave caravan before I found Elspeth fleeing the Red Horseman. I took her to the rebel camp, but it turned out to be a dark place. They locked me in their roublets. The new slaves were still coherent with the others. If it wasn't for Elspeth, I shuddered to think what would become of me.

SPEAKER_15 33:12

We are even, Desmond.

SPEAKER_17 33:14

So, what is your plan? Why are we heading towards the castle if a war is about to begin? We should return to my lands and call our banners.

SPEAKER_15 33:22

Bring me to my father as the silent killer, the assassin you pretended to be. Once inside, we'll spring a trap, capture my father, secure him in the dungeon, and face Isidore ourselves. She will halt her march if we can show her that the king has abdicated.

SPEAKER_17 33:42

You would spare him.

SPEAKER_15 33:45

Christ tells us to forgive if we wish to see the kingdom of heaven. I will do more than that. I will save my father's soul.

SPEAKER_19 33:59

Quickly.

SPEAKER_17 34:20

Even with the element of surprise, Henry's infantry will run right through them.

SPEAKER_19 34:25

Aye, they may. But how will his infantry react when they witness those same creepers get back on their feet and continue fighting? Look closer, Alistair. This is no army of mortal men.

SPEAKER_18 34:38

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_15 34:39

She must not beat us to the castle.

SPEAKER_18 34:42

Then we must run faster.

SPEAKER_03 35:00

Sire, an army of rebels approaches on our western flank. There are hundreds of them.

SPEAKER_06 35:05

What? And cannot be. Where did they come from?

SPEAKER_03 35:09

They appeared on the horizon as if it sprung from the earth itself.

SPEAKER_06 35:13

I don't understand.

SPEAKER_03 35:14

Nor do I, my lord. My scouts say they are running toward us, not marching. They will be here by sunset. We must act swiftly.

SPEAKER_06 35:22

Alert my army, secure the doors, load the catapults. Yes, sire. And prepare my steed. These rebels will not take what is ours.

SPEAKER_05 36:13

It's just fear. Do not succumb to it.

SPEAKER_03 36:19

It's not fear. It is true. Help me! Help me!

SPEAKER_05 36:51

It's an army of demons! Retreat! Retreat!

SPEAKER_17 37:09

Those demons are making short work of Henry's army.

SPEAKER_15 37:13

Indeed. His men are too preoccupied to guard this poster entrance. Come, my father will be in the throne room. We don't have much time.

SPEAKER_19 37:25

What is that?

SPEAKER_15 37:28

Isidore is launching catapults at the castle. Run.

SPEAKER_18 37:47

You two go up first. I'll take the rear.

SPEAKER_17 38:04

Stairs are giving money! Desmond! The stairs behind you!

SPEAKER_15 38:13

Desmond, grab my hand!

SPEAKER_18 38:15

Everyone got one hand!

SPEAKER_12 38:18

Alistair, help me pull!

SPEAKER_17 38:27

I hope you aren't planning to go back down this way.

SPEAKER_15 38:30

At least no one can follow us up. Soldiers coming in through the window.

SPEAKER_18 38:36

We're too else with through here. Onto the roof.

SPEAKER_15 38:40

Would you rather fight through Isabel's army ahead?

SPEAKER_17 38:43

We must keep running.

SPEAKER_18 38:58

Look at that battlefield. So many bodies.

SPEAKER_15 39:01

Quickly! Across the roof before we are spotted.

SPEAKER_17 39:12

The catapults tore holes across our path.

SPEAKER_15 39:16

Then we jump over each of them. Whatever you do, just slow down.

SPEAKER_18 39:26

Is it almost forgotten?

SPEAKER_17 39:28

I mean the castle walls. Look on the roof. I see them. Brawl blade. We are ready for a fight.

SPEAKER_15 39:56

Okay, inside on the other side of that massive hole.

SPEAKER_18 40:00

That is too far to leap across. It'd seem that way. Unless I have an idea.

SPEAKER_15 40:07

This doesn't call for a trap.

SPEAKER_18 40:09

You said anything about a trap? Hand me that length of tapestry falling across the roof.

SPEAKER_15 40:16

What do you need with this? It's destroyed.

SPEAKER_18 40:19

Yes, but the fabric is strong. Strong enough.

SPEAKER_15 40:23

For what?

SPEAKER_18 40:25

For my weight. Alistair, your sword. I tie one in to the black. Help me, houseman. Hardly a grappling hook, but it will do. See them gargoyle on the tower there.

unknown 40:41

Ha!

SPEAKER_18 40:42

It caught! Who wants to go first? Oh, leave it to me then I.

SPEAKER_15 40:49

Testament, don't you dare? Told you!

SPEAKER_17 40:56

Here! You're dead! You first, Elspeth!

SPEAKER_15 41:03

Alistair! Behind you, it's an old man!

SPEAKER_17 41:06

Here goes nothing!

SPEAKER_15 41:10

Follow me. My father awaits!

SPEAKER_06 41:22

My god! We are being massacred! Where do these wicked creatures come from? Christ Almighty!

SPEAKER_15 41:32

Hello, Father! Elspeth!

SPEAKER_06 41:34

You shall be dead! I sent four assassins after you! Three! So, the silent killer finally speaks. You have brought her to me alive. You I couldn't let you hunt my old friend down.

SPEAKER_17 41:51

The Pisant Percy!

SPEAKER_18 41:53

And who is your one-handed friend? I am Desmond. Once a slave now free.

SPEAKER_15 41:59

We have travelled great distances, Father. Fought many enemies. All to tell you there is still hope. Your soul can be saved, and the kingdom can prosper.

SPEAKER_06 42:10

Oh! Is that why you betrayed me?

SPEAKER_15 42:14

Your greed got the best of you, but you can still change. It's not too late! Stand with me against these forces at your door.

SPEAKER_06 42:22

Stand with you? You have no power here. I give the orders.

SPEAKER_15 42:29

Abdicate your throne, and we will convince them to seize the onslaught. You don't understand the power your enemy wields. You stand against the armies of hell.

SPEAKER_06 42:42

At the moment, I stand against a bastard and her gildlings. And for that, I do not have time. Gods, kill these three.

SPEAKER_15 42:59

Alistair, what are you doing?

SPEAKER_17 43:01

What I should have done ages ago.

SPEAKER_15 43:04

Lower your blade from my father.

SPEAKER_06 43:06

You snivelling shit!

SPEAKER_17 43:08

Remove your blade from my throat! Do what she says, Alistair. This man is wicked. He hired assassins to kill his own daughter. He is a slaver and he's working with a witch. A witch? Isidor. The traitor? She paid me handsomely for slaves. The dregs of our society. That's all. Isidor is at your gate, you old fool! Who do you think you're fighting out there? Those are your slaves, possessed by her wicked power! That can't be! It is the truth! And kidding me will help you how. I wish I shared Elspeth's belief that you could be saved. But you and I both know that is a wild dream of a woman who cannot do what is necessary. Alice, just stop it! I don't think I will. It's time for the Percy clan to take this kingdom and set things right. Bastard! This was your plan the entire time. There is only one bastard in this room. Elspeth. Even a shred of claim to the throne alive. Don't you touch a hair on her head? Oh! And you will stop me, cripple.

SPEAKER_15 44:22

Alexander, don't have to be this way. Think of our friendship. God no stop!

SPEAKER_17 44:29

I'll stop when you and this slave rest in pieces upon this cold ground.

SPEAKER_13 44:34

Now fuck off.

SPEAKER_06 44:38

You got me here.

SPEAKER_15 44:48

Desmond!

SPEAKER_06 44:49

I'm hurt, Elspeth.

SPEAKER_15 44:51

Let me see. Let me look. It's okay, Desmond. Sit. Rest here. Father, help me!

SPEAKER_06 45:00

Help you! Oh the hell you have brought upon us!

SPEAKER_16 45:04

It is too late, Elspeth. Help will not come for you. Loyal farm. The kingdom falls tonight. My forgotten, take the throne. No!

unknown 45:19

Back!

SPEAKER_05 45:20

Stay back!

SPEAKER_15 45:21

Desmond, your blade! I hold these swords together in the shape of the cross and drive you back in the name of the Lord. Back in the name of Christ Jesus. Oh my, Alistair.

SPEAKER_16 45:35

It is much too late for that. This room is filled with such wickedness. Your father's black heart. Alistair's backstabbing. Even you. You speak of me as a holy name, but deeper down. I know what you are. You're a seeker of the room, too.

SPEAKER_15 45:54

Oh you need to save the kingdom! Just stop this madness! Is that why?

SPEAKER_16 46:00

Or is it because you're a bastard whose father never truly loved her? You don't know me. I think I do answer. I think there's a hole so deep inside of you that not even a god can fit it. That is not true! You needn't worry. I can forgotten! Bring me the king!

SPEAKER_05 46:23

Don't touch me, beasts!

SPEAKER_16 46:25

Don't stop! Power. True power. Flocks like water into empty vessels and takes their shape. I only need to speak a word to release the darkness inside of me. And it will find its home inside whichever of you is the weakest. Then we will rise together. Soul and body as one. Why not just kill us and take the throne? Because my new subjects must be led astray by a face they know.

SPEAKER_06 47:00

And what of the other? The stronger of the two.

SPEAKER_16 47:03

The stronger must perish lest they challenge again for the throne. While one of you will rise, the other will be consumed by rot. You wicked bitch! Do you praise your Christ with that mouth? I praise him, and only him. We'll see about that.

SPEAKER_15 47:22

Our Father who art in heaven. I call upon the darkness. The kingdom come, sulphur and flame.

SPEAKER_16 47:28

I will be done. Take hold of the fearful as it is in heaven. Take hold in the darkest corners of the weakest soul.

SPEAKER_05 47:38

It is mine. Take me. Yes, Phoenix. Father, your face. Just make it stop.

SPEAKER_16 48:17

That means Yes, Elspeth. It is time. Our time. Please don't make me. Oh my sweet vassal. Who chose this path long ago? Now speak. Say, come to me, my forgotten.

SPEAKER_15 48:42

Come to me. Don't do this. Silence, slave. Yes. Yes. Come to me.

SPEAKER_16 48:58

Come to me. Come to me, motherful boss.

SPEAKER_01 49:29
